The spirit of the law shapes legal consciousness and societal health.
The research explores how the "spirit of the law" impacts legal research and regulation. Using methods like moral and metaphysical analysis, it shows that ignoring the spirit of the law can lead to conflicts between morality and legal enforcement. When laws don't align with their intended spirit, enforcers face tough choices. Recognizing the difference between the spirit and the letter of the law is crucial for interpreting laws correctly and avoiding conflicts between legal and moral principles.
